All of these vast entitlement programs are massive legal pilfering on an unimaginable scale. And the enslaved class is forced to work to turn over our hard-earned wages to these moochers and looters. Speak up and you are defamed and smeared. Selfish! Exploiter! Heartless! Vicious propaganda for the end goal of enslaving the body politic.

The sole purpose of government is to protect
the rights of an individual to life, liberty, and property. The law cannot defend life, liberty, and property if it promotes "legal [or legalized] plunder,"
which Fredric Bastiat defined as using government force and laws to take something
from one individual and give it to others. If you are interested in more on this, you can watch a televission segment I did on this here.

Shelves at Walmart stores in Louisiana
were cleared in a shopping frenzy over the weekend after a glitch in the
Electronic Benefits Transfer system allowed government food stamp
recipients to make purchases without spending limits.

For two hours Saturday night, customers
rang up overflowing cartloads of food at stores in Springhill and
Mansfield, La., after cashiers allowed them to use their EBT cards
anyway despite not showing limits, KSLA-TV reported.

Police were called in to help manage
the chaos, but no arrests were made and no one was unruly, Lynd said.
Mansfield police confirmed officers were called in for crowd control but
no arrests were made there, either.

After the system came back online, customers abandoned their carts and left the store, leaving a huge mess behind.

“It was like a tornado had came
through,” O.J Evans, who took cell phone video of the aftermath at the
Mansfield Walmart, told KSLA.

The glitch occurred when the EBT system
went down in several states during a routine backup test, KSLA
reported. The system came back up Saturday night, but was apparently not
working properly everywhere.

A Walmart spokeswoman told KSLA the company was “fully engaged and monitoring the situation and transactions during the outage.”

“We did make the decision to continue
to accept EBT cards (and purchases on WIC and SNAP) during the outage so
that they could get food for their families,” Walmart spokeswoman Kayla
Whaling told the station.

Walmart shoppers Stan and Judy Garcia said purchases made without appropriate funds was the same thing as stealing.
